A suicide car bomb exploded outside the Iranian ambassador’s residence in Yemen on Wednesday, killing as many as three people and injuring 17.
Reuters reported that the attack took place outside the Iranian ambassador’s residence in Sanaa on Wednesday, 10 minutes after the ambassador, Hossein Niknam, had left the building for the embassy.
There are conflicting reports as to who was killed in the attack. Yemen’s interior ministry told Reuters that one person died and 17 were injured. A paramedic told Reuters three dead bodies had been taken from the scene, while a soldier who identified himself as Abdullah Mahmoud told Reuters that Yemeni and Iranian guards had been killed. CNN reported that a guard was killed along with a female passerby and a child.
Photos of the scene obtained by CNN show at least two holes blasted into the side of the building.
Iranian foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham told Press TV that said all Iranian diplomats in Yemen were in good health.
No one has yet claimed the responsibility for the attack.
